James Kinley commented on FLUME-2868:
-------------------------------------
This has been fixed in FLUME-2823.
Users can now specify a partition key directly with a Kafka Channel by using an
Interceptor to generate a "key" event header.

> Key: FLUME-2868
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2868
> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Channel
> Affects Versions: v1.6.0
> Reporter: James Kinley
>
> Add the ability to partition a Kafka channel topic by key. Users can
> currently partition topics by key using a file/memory channel with a Kafka
> sink. Although this approach adds unnecessary latency and the Kafka sink
> drops Flume event headers, which can be undesirable.
